Journaled data requires that a complete flush of all dirty data for the file is done, in order that the ail flush which comes after will succeed. Also the recently enhanced bug trap can trigger falsely in case an ail flush from fsync races with a page read. This updates the bug trap such that it will ignore buffers which are locked and only trigger on dirty and/or pinned buffers when the ail flush is run from fsync. The original bug trap is retained when ail flush is run from ->go_sync() Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

If we have got far enough through the inode allocation code path that an inode has already been allocated, then we must call iput to dispose of it, if an error occurs during a later part of the process. This will always be the final iput since there will be no other references to the inode. Unlike when the inode has been unlinked, its block state will be GFS2_BLKST_INODE rather than GFS2_BLKST_UNLINKED so we need to skip the test in ->evict_inode() for this one case in order to ensure that it will be deallocated correctly. This patch adds a new flag in order to ensure that this will happen correctly. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

We do not need to start a transaction unless the atime check has proved positive. Also if we are going to flush the complete ail list anyway, we might as well skip the writeback for this specific inode's metadata, since that will be done as part of the ail writeback process in an order offering potentially more efficient I/O.

The assert was being tested under the wrong lock, a legacy of the original code. Also, if it does trigger, the resulting information was not always a lot of help. This moves the patch under the correct lock and also prints out more useful information in tacking down the source of the problem. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Now that the data writing is part of fsync proper, we can split the waiting part out and do it later on. This reduces the number of waits that we do during fsync on average. There is also no need to take the i_mutex unless we are flushing metadata to disk, so we can move that to within the metadata flushing code. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

Since there is now only a single caller to gfs2_dir_read_data() and it has a number of constant arguments, we can factor those out. Also some tests relating to the inode size were being done twice. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>

I don't usually pay much attention to the stale "? " addresses in stack backtraces, but this lucky report from Pawel Sikora hints that mremap's move_ptes() has inadequate locking against page migration. 3.0 BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page(): kernel BUG at include/linux/swapops.h:105! RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81127b76>] [<ffffffff81127b76>] migration_entry_wait+0x156/0x160 [<ffffffff811016a1>] handle_pte_fault+0xae1/0xaf0 [<ffffffff810feee2>] ? __pte_alloc+0x42/0x120 [<ffffffff8112c26b>] ? do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page+0xab/0x310 [<ffffffff81102a31>] handle_mm_fault+0x181/0x310 [<ffffffff81106097>] ? vma_adjust+0x537/0x570 [<ffffffff81424bed>] do_page_fault+0x11d/0x4e0 [<ffffffff81109a05>] ? do_mremap+0x2d5/0x570 [<ffffffff81421d5f>] page_fault+0x1f/0x30 mremap's down_write of mmap_sem, together with i_mmap_mutex or lock, and pagetable locks, were good enough before page migration (with its requirement that every migration entry be found) came in, and enough while migration always held mmap_sem; but not enough nowadays, when there's memory hotremove and compaction. The danger is that move_ptes() lets a migration entry dodge around behind remove_migration_pte()'s back, so it's in the old location when looking at the new, then in the new location when looking at the old. Either mremap's move_ptes() must additionally take anon_vma lock(), or migration's remove_migration_pte() must stop peeking for is_swap_entry() before it takes pagetable lock. Consensus chooses the latter: we prefer to add overhead to migration than to mremapping, which gets used by JVMs and by exec stack setup.

Due to commit 92fc43b4 ("r8169: modify the flow of the hw reset."), rtl8169_hw_reset stomps during driver shutdown on RxConfig bits which are needed for WOL on some versions of the hardware. As these bits were formerly set from the r81{0x, 68}_pll_power_down methods, factor them out for use in the driver shutdown (rtl_shutdown) handler. I favored __rtl8169_get_wol() -hardware state indication- over RTL_FEATURE_WOL as the latter has become a good candidate for removal.

The transparent socket option setting was not copied to the time wait socket when an inet socket was being replaced by a time wait socket.

The bond->recv_probe is called in bond_handle_frame() when a packet is received, but bond_close() sets it to NULL. So, a panic occurs when both functions work in parallel. Why this happen: After null pointer check of bond->recv_probe, an sk_buff is duplicated and bond->recv_probe is called in bond_handle_frame. So, a panic occurs when bond_close() is called between the check and call of bond->recv_probe. Patch: This patch uses a local function pointer of bond->recv_probe in bond_handle_frame(). So, it can avoid the null pointer dereference.

The Bluetooth stack has internal connection handlers for all of the various Bluetooth protocols, and unfortunately, they are currently lacking the LSM hooks found in the core network stack's connection handlers. I say unfortunately, because this can cause problems for users who have have an LSM enabled and are using certain Bluetooth devices. See one problem report below: * http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741703 In order to keep things simple at this point in time, this patch fixes the problem by cloning the parent socket's LSM attributes to the newly created child socket. If we decide we need a more elaborate LSM marking mechanism for Bluetooth (I somewhat doubt this) we can always revisit this decision in the future. Reported-by: James M.

There's a lock inversion between the cputimer->lock and rq->lock; notably the two callchains involved are: update_rlimit_cpu() sighand->siglock set_process_cpu_timer() cpu_timer_sample_group() thread_group_cputimer() cputimer->lock thread_group_cputime() task_sched_runtime() ->pi_lock rq->lock scheduler_tick() rq->lock task_tick_fair() update_curr() account_group_exec() cputimer->lock Where the first one is enabling a CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID timer, and the second one is keeping up-to-date. This problem was introduced by e8abccb7 ("posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP accounting oddities"). Cure the problem by removing the cputimer->lock and rq->lock nesting, this leaves concurrent enablers doing duplicate work, but the time wasted should be on the same order otherwise wasted spinning on the lock and the greater-than assignment filter should ensure we preserve monotonicity.

Commit 903ab86d of 1 March this year ("udp: Add lockless transmit path") introduced a new fast TX path that broke the checksum coverage computation of UDP-lite, which so far depended on up->len (only set if the socket is locked and 0 in the fast path). Fixed by providing both fast- and slow-path computation of checksum coverage. The latter can be removed when UDP(-lite)v6 also uses a lockless transmit path.

The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is). Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?). That all indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to chase it down. "Just don't do that, then".
